1.3 Install using the .exe installer

Download

Download and run the installer for your platform (available for 64-bit and 32-bit Windows).

When the application is already installed and you run the installer again, the installation files will be updated and your previous configuration will be preserved.

Installation directory

Choose the installation directory

Installation directory contains command line tools. You might want to add this directory to your %PATH%.

Configuration files files are located in %PROGRAMDATA%\Rebex\BuruSftp directory.

SFTP/SSH Windows service

Configure Windows service

This account will be used to access the files and folders and also for SSH access, unless the impersonalization is configured. Learn more about the account in Service user consideration article.

This settings can be changed later using the burusftp svc install command.

SSH/SFTP port and addresses

Configure ports and IP addresses

You can override the default port and IP addresses here.

This settings can be changed later by editing the configuration file or using the Web Admin.

Web Administration

Configure web admin service details

This account will be used to run Web administration and will require full access to the configuration directory.

If you skip installation of the Web Admin as a Windows service you can still run it later via burusftpwa run command.

Configure web admin port and IP address

It’s highly recommended to configure the HTTPS access to the web administration as soon as possible, unless you allow access from the local machine only (which is the default). When you log in to the Web administration using plain HTTP, your password is being sent unencrypted over the network.

First user

Add the first user

You can add the first user here. Learn how to add more users or use different authentication methods in the User setup chapter.

Grand finale

Setup completed

Congratulations!

The initial setup is now completed. You can start using Rebex Buru SFTP server.

Silent installation

2.12.0+ Buru SFTP Server can also be installed silently without any user prompts. Run the installer with argument /SILENT. It uses the following defaults, some of which are configurable using additional command line arguments:

Description	Argument	Default value
Installation directory	`/DIR=<path>`	`%ProgramFiles%\Rebex Buru SFTP Server`
Register and start SSH/SFTP server		yes
Register and start Web Administration	`/webAdmin=no`	yes
SSH port	`/sshPort=<number>`	22
Web Administration endpoint		http://localhost:8880
Update Windows firewall		yes

When the installation fails, the installer process will return a non-zero exit code. Typical error codes include:

Error code	Description
16001	Wrong value of the argument `sshPort`
16002	Wrong value of the argument `webAdmin`

Run the installer from cmd.exe command line like this to get error code:

start /WAIT RebexBuruSftpServer-<platform>-<version>.exe /silent
echo %errorlevel%
